Coffeehouse Concert
The Olde Town Swing Band

The Olde Town Swing Band features Rob Dando, Kit Simon and Drew Horton. Whether it's a hot jazzy number or a smooth dreamy ballad, Kit's prowess and sensibility on the vintage archtop guitar is just the ticket. A fine vocalist, his lead and harmony vocals add a smooth touch to the band's sound. Kit makes his home right here in Old Town Louisville. Another long time Old Town Louisville resident who now lives in Westcliff, mandolin virtuoso Drew Horton was the 2001 Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival National Mandolin Champion. He'll have plenty of hot licks to warm up a cold winter's eve! Last, but not least, Rob Dando holds down the low end and sets the groove on stand-up bass.
LAA thanks Caffe Sanora for serving their premium Arabica coffee, with more antioxidants than most green teas!

His love of kids is clear as he combines audience participation, melodrama, comedy, surprise and variety into his fast-paced programs.
